Triangular braidings and pointed Hopf algebras.

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider an interesting class of braidings defined by a combinatorial property in an earlier paper. We show that it consists exactly of those braidings that come from certain Yetter-Drinfeld module structures over pointed Hopf algebras with abelian coradical. As a tool we define a reduced version of the FRT construction. For braidings induced by U_q(g)-modules the reduced FRT construction is calculated explicitly.


The aim of the paper is to explore the connection between pointed Hopf algebras and triangular braidings. More precisely, the author establishes that right triangular braidings are exactly those braidings that are induced by Yetter-Drinfeld modules over pointed Hopf algebras with Abelian coradical which are completely reducible as \(kG(H)\)-modules. The author introduces a reduced version of the FRT-construction and calculates the reduced FRT-construction for braidings induced by \(U_q(g)\)-modules.
